I like the scarab. For what it is worth a friend of mine has a 1996 38 and it rides really nice. It has the hp 500's. It'd by no means the fastest but it is a very fun , safe feeling boat. I would think the 33 would also be along these lines eccept maybe a little faster. Good luck with waht ever you pick.

How about some value comperrisons? I know how most of these ride, and built.
Performance, year, model input, due to the selections and year/models available.
For Ex. What’s a better “deal /value” ? 2001, Hustler 34 for $99M or 2003 Cig. 35 for $130M ?? 33's to 38's for the $? Etc...
Assuming hours, set up etc. are similar.
